Rich, Spicy Umami
Naturally Fermented White Miso, Sake Lees and Warming Chilli
Chilli Miso Sake Kasu is a versatile Japanese seasoning made with naturally fermented white miso, gochugaru and sake kasu (sake lees) from our own brewing process. Combining rich umami, gentle sweetness and a warming chilli kick, it brings a delicious depth of flavour to everyday cooking.
It can be used in many ways — stir a spoonful into noodles, curries, stir-fries or soups to add a rich, savoury warmth. It’s also excellent as a marinade or glaze for chicken, tofu and seasonal vegetables before grilling or roasting, or mixed with mayonnaise to create a spicy dipping sauce.
Why is our Sake Kasu so special?
Derived from our naturally sparkling sake, Classic ‘awa’, our Sake Kasu presents a delightful fruity aroma and abundant nutrients. Crafted with over double the usual quantity of rice koji compared to standard sake production, Classic ‘awa’ ensures an exceptional quality for our sake kasu. Rich in enzymes that break down the starch and protein of your base ingredients into simple sugars and amino acids, it contributes to creating a depth of flavor. Our Sake Kasu naturally enhances the deliciousness of your food.
*Our Sake Kasu is produced in the process making our Classic awa.
